    I saw a few in thetruckersreport.com/lingo but from what I've seen in this thread, they (thetruckersreport) hardly scratched the surface.

    Thanks for this thread! I posted in another that my husband got new "sneakers" last week...I had a visual of our truck with converse high tops...I don't know why, just an over active imagination...so then I started thinking about other "trucker lingo" and how it would look if they were literal...so am writing a book for our kids for Christmas...Freddy the FreightShaker gets new Sneakers...using some of the other stuff like chicken coop, alligator, bear, monkey, skateboard etc....I think it will be cute! Thanks again!
